Two men were seriously ill. They shared the same room in the hospital. One of them was lying in the bed near the only window. Every day he was allowed to spend some time sitting up in his bed to help curing. The other man had to spend all his days lying in the bed.

They talked a lot about their life, families, jobs and vacations. Every time, when the first man was sitting by the window, he described what he saw outside the window. His roommate always looked for those moments, when his world was broadened and brightened up by the world outside.

Amazing views of a park with a beautiful lake could be seen from the window. Children delightfully played among ducks and swans. Couples walked arm in arm among colourful flowers. Also the beautiful city skyline could be seen.

When the man by the window had been thoroughly describing, his roommate would close his eyes and imaged all the beautiful scenes of life that were told to him.

One night the man, whose bed was near the window, died peacefully during sleep and his roommate was very sad. After some time, when the nurse came to visit him, he asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse agreed. When she left, the man slowly and painfully propped himself up on one elbow and took the first look at the world outside. He was amazed. The window faced a blank wall.

When the nurse came to visit him the next time, he told her about beautiful things outside the window that his roommate described him. The nurse replied that his roommate was a blind man.
